In case you didn't notice, the strength of PLUG (and most LUGs for that
matter) is being a focus and discussion group centering around the
operating system we have grown to love over the years. The objective is
not to be a well funded well connected portal, but to provide a pool of
expertise from _different_ parts of the country which can be tapped for
issues and problems regarding Linux.
Let's face the reality, we are all working or studying, busy with our own
responsibilities. This being the case, it's quite phenomenal that we
are able to provide such a service to the community at all.

Jaded and cynical is more precise. What's the reason for all this
cynicism? We're doing fine as i can see it, and we're
Helping-a-lot-of-people TM
Activley pushing Linux and providing training and consultancy is the role
of a commercial vendor, not a LUG.
Wanting to be more than what the members can afford or can handle is being
naive. Live in the real world, identify the resources you are given, and
maximise their use.
